HE. Yes, I did.
SHE. While I was unconscious?
HE. Precisely.
SHE. Oh, how could you do such a thing? How could you?
HE. (Taking up his coat) It was by request. (Takes cigarette case from pocket.)
SHE. (Incredulously) I asked you?
HE. You said, "Mother! Mother! Kiss me!" (Takes cigarette from case. Pleased to see that it is dry. Puts it between his lips.)
SHE. I said that?
HE. They were your first words. (Produces match-safe from trouser pocket.)
SHE. But you didn't have to kiss me.
